Well I have done a LOT of research on the two and have read lots of comments, but I am actually getting ready to invest in one of them so I want to hear everyone's thoughts and personal experience with the two.

I have a 2003 MC NON-S, 5spd, aftermarket intake and exhaust. I plan on adding a header as well.

MTH vs. Bluefin
I want to know:
Problems
Positives
Quality
Best customer service
Best performance throughout the powerband
Which one performs better with basic bolt on mods
And whatever else you can think of

Personal dyno results are nice too

As far as price goes, it looks like the MTH will be $195 US $ for the standard file and renting the cable and I got a quote for $360 US $ shipped for the Bluefin

Thanks in advance,
Jesse

I don't know about Bluefin, but MTH also has a header and software combination. If you purchase the tuner file now, and within the year the header, you'll get a 100 euro reduction on the new tuner file you need with the new header.

We had a dyno day in our NewMINIclub (all same day, octane 98), and altough everybody who has MTH in a Cooper (with or without the header) felt a good improvement with MTH, MTH didn't reach their claim for power and showed not that much difference with a stock MC (also a Cooper with MTH header in there).

MTH did nothing to solve this (only poor excuses like somebody had the wrong exhaust and we all maybe have technical problems with the MINI), so I think your customer service question is answered with that.
